Upasana
Uapasana in Sanskrit literally means "Sitting near" but normally the term is used in Hinduism to denote a prescribed method for approaching a Deity/God or getting close to deity. In Vedas some Upasanas are prescribed where one meditates on all pervading Brahman as some aspect of creation such as fire, water, directions, food, mind etc.
